The 11 These are the arms of the family of King of Thame, Oxon, and Worminghall, Bucks, eminent members of which were Robert Kynge, first Bishop of Oxford, 1506-1559; John Kynge, Bishop of London, 1559-162 1, and Henry Kinge, Bishop of Chichester, 1591-1669, all sprung from John Kynge "yeoman" of Thame, Co. Oxon, about 1442. John Kingof Thame had issue, William, Thomas and John, vintner, of Bicester, Oxon. William King (John of Thame) in turn had issue, Robert, first Bishop of Oxford, William,Thomas, and another son ([name as yet unknown, but mentioned inBishop Robert King's willas "another brother.") William King (William, John) of Devon, of Thame, Oxon and Worminghall, Bucks, married Anne, daughter of Sir John Williams of Burfield, Berks, by his wife Isabella Moore, daughter and co-heir of Richard Moore, armiger, and sister of John, Lord Williams and of Lady—Joane Williams, Prioress of Studley, Co. Oxon, and had issue: Robert, Edmond and Philip. His son Philip King (William, William, John) of Worminghall, Bucks, was page to Henry VIII,and later in the service of John, Lord Williams of Thame. He inherited the greater part of his uncle, Bishop Robert King's estate, and married about 1553, Elizabeth Conquest daughter of Edmond Conquest of Houghton Conquest, Bedfordshire, armiger, and Joane, daughter of William Britton of Ampthill, Co. Bedford, and had issue, twelve children, among whom was John, baptised 1559/60, who became Bishop of London and was the father of Henry King, baptised 17 January, 1591/2, who became Bishop of Chichester. A most complete pedigree of this eminent church family exists down to about 1700, when the male line of Bishops John and Henry King became extinct. There is strong reason to believe, however, that the Kingname was continued by collateral branches, but at yet these kindred families have not been traced. Bishop Robert King"claimed descent from the "Antient Saxon Kings of Devonshire and while there appears to be some doubt as to the antiquity of their coat-armor, yet the admission of the claim to these arms by the Heralds in162 1 at the burial of Bishop John King ofLondon establishes the family right from that date. The above arms inthe early Herald's Visitations were generally borne "Quarterly first and fourth King (as given above) and second and third Gules, within a border engrailed three lions passant, or." (See Plate III.)" The latter arms are called "Plan- tagenet or King Anciently but there is not the slightest proof that this King family was in any way related to the royal line of Plantagenet and their claim to such royal descent can- not be substantiated. Almost identical arms, with slight changes incolors and crests are borne by Kingof Bromley, Kent, of which Kingof Bellevue, Kent, is a branch (Crest: "Alion's gamb erased and erect, sable, grasping a cross pattee' fitchee', or;" King of Eltham, Kent; Kingof Hungrill, Yorkshire and Umberslade, Warwick; (Crest: "Ademi-lion rampant issuing out of a ducal coronet, or;") King of Skellands, Yorkshire; Kingof Chedshunt, Yorkshire; Kingof.

  • Everard Bishop of Norwich L. Landon
    186 EVERARD, BISHOP OF NORWICH. EVERARD BISHOP OF NORWICH. By L. LANDON. Owing to the identity of the name and to the fact that he had been one of the royal chaplains bishop Everard for a long time was affirmed to be Everard the son of Roger de Montgomery, Everard fitz count as he was usually called, till in 1872 a writer in Notes and, Queries adduced arguments which showed this identification to be untenable.' It is not necessary to repeat the arguments here. Since then no attempt has been made to find out who he was. Although there is nothing in the shape of definite proof there are some slight indications which suggest that he may have been Everard de CaIna, who also probably was one of Henry I's chaplains. Bartholomew Cotton' appears to be the only one of the chroniclers to record that bishop Everard at some time in his life had been archdeacon of Salis- bury. It is not easy to find information about arch- deacons at this early,date but it happens that William of Malmesbury3relates a story of a miraculous cure by S. Aldhem performed upon Everard, one of bishop Osmund's archdeacons. To be an archdeacon Everard would be at least 2.5years old and bishop Osmund died in 1099. From these two factors we get the year 1074 for the latest date of his birth, it was probably a year or two earlier. Calne being in the diocese of Salisbury there is nothing improbable in a member of a family taking its name from that place, if destined for the church, being appointed to an archdeaconry of that diocese.

    Lancelot Andrewes’ Doctrine of the Incarnation Respectfully Submitted to the Faculty of Nashotah House In Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Master of Theological Studies Davidson R. Morse Nashotah House May 2003 1 Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to the whole faculty of Nashotah House Seminary for the care and encouragement I received while researching and writing this thesis. Greatest thanks, however, goes to the Rev. Dr. Charles Henery, who directed and edited the work. His encyclopedic knowledge of the theology and literature of the Anglican tradition are both formidable and inspirational. I count him not only a mentor, but also a friend. Thanks also goes to the Rev. Dr. Tom Holtzen for his guidance in my research on the Christological controversies and points of Patristic theology. Finally, I could not have written the thesis without the love and support of my wife. Not only did she manage the house and children alone, but also she graciously encouraged me to pursue and complete the thesis. I dedicate it to her. Rev. Davidson R. Morse Easter Term, 2003 2 O Lord and Father, our King and God, by whose grace the Church was enriched by the great learning and eloquent preaching of thy servant Lancelot Andrewes, but even more by his example of biblical and liturgical prayer: Conform our lives, like his, we beseech thee, to the image of Christ, that our hearts may love thee, our minds serve thee, and our lips proclaim the greatness of thy mercy; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

  • Diocese of Chichester Opening Statement
    THE DIOCESE OF CHICHESTER OPENING STATEMENT BY COUNSEL TO THE INQUIRY OPENING REMARKS 1. Good Morning, Chair and Panel. I am Ms. Fiona Scolding, lead counsel to the Anglican investigation . Next to me sits Ms. Nikita McNeill and Ms. Lara McCaffrey , junior counsel to the Anglican investigation. Today we begin the first substantive hearing into the institutional response of the Anglican Church to allegations of child sexual abuse. The Anglican investigation is just one of thirteen so far launched by the statutory Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse established by the Home Secretary in March 2015, offering an unprecedented opportunity to examine the extent to which institutions and organisations in England and Wales have been able to respond appropriately to allegations of abuse. 2. This hearing focuses upon the response of the Diocese of Chichester to allegations made to it about various individuals – both clergy and volunteers over the past thirty years. Some of the abuse you will hear about occurred during the 1950’s and 1960’s: some of it is much more recent in origin. A series of allegations came to light from the late 1990’s onwards and then engulfed the Diocese of Chichester in the first decade of the 21 st century. The role of the hearing is to examine what happened and what that shows about the ability of the Anglican Church to protect children in the past. It is also to ask 1 about its ability to learn lessons and implement change as a result of learning from the mistakes which it has acknowledged that it has made.

  • Diocesan Records
    Diocesan Records The Diocese is the administrative area ruled over by the Bishop of Oxford. Below him is an Archdeacon for each Archdeaconry within the Diocese, the Rural Dean for each Deanery (a group of parishes within an Archdeaconry), and the vicar, rector or curate for each parish or joint benefice (linked group of parishes). The Diocesan Records are the administrative records of the Bishop, created in the running of the Diocese. Oxford Diocese was formed in 1542, when the Archdeaconry of Oxford was split away from the huge Diocese of Lincoln. This did not please the Archdeacon of Oxford, who had been accustomed to a great deal of autonomy and now had a Bishop giving him orders. However, fate played into his hands; for 44 of the first 47 years of the Diocese there was no Bishop, and successive Archdeacons took on his duties. This led to considerable confusion in the records; Bishops and Archdeacons used the same officials and clerks, these often wrote affairs pertaining to their masters in the wrong books, and sometimes it can be difficult to tell which records belong to the Bishop (the Diocesan records) and which to the Archdeacon (the Archdeaconry records). Demarcation was finally agreed in the Court of Arches after the Civil War and Interregnum. Until 1836, Oxford Diocese consisted of the single Archdeaconry; only then was the Archdeaconry of Berkshire added, transferred from the Diocese of Salisbury. An attempt was immediately made to add the Archdeaconry of Buckingham from Lincoln Diocese, but Bishop Bagot objected and the transfer finally took place under Bishop Wilberforce in 1845.

  • The Church of the Incarnation
    THE CHURCH OF THE INCARNATION A hundred years ago, in the early 20th century, it seemed inevitable that William Temple would one day become Archbishop of Canterbury. Everybody said so. He was generally thought to have the finest mind of his generation, and (though it’s no sort of qualification) he was … the son of a previous Archbishop. But to become Archbishop of Canterbury you have, first, to become a priest, and young William Temple found it uncommon hard to find a bishop who would ordain him. When he was 25, already an Oxford don, he applied to the Bishop of Oxford, who turned him down flat – on grounds that Temple had told him (a) that he didn’t believe in the Virgin Birth, and (b) that his belief in the bodily (that is, the physical) Resurrection of Jesus was shaky at best. Now you may well be thinking that the Bishop of Oxford was right. Aren’t those two rather essential doctrines of Christianity? Well, I’m not so sure. You can certainly make a case for saying that Mary did not have to be a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus (indeed, many of my confirmands have argued that case most vigorously, though I don’t personally subscribe to it). And as to the Resurrection, Temple certainly believed in the Resurrection. What he wasn’t so sure about was whether it had been a physical bodily resurrection or just a spiritual resurrection – the sort of thing you and I hope for after our deaths. At all events, William Temple (and we’ll come back to him later, because he did, indeed, become Archbishop of Canterbury) … young William Temple believed these were arguable matters for Christians – interesting and highly debatable, but paling into insignificance beside the supreme doctrine of Christianity, which is the Incarnation.

The footnotes, which refer to the latter work, indicate the pages in the smaller edition. But the volume could never have been completed without the great help given to me on many occassions by Prebendary Bennett.

  • 1066-1272 Eastern Sussex Under the Norman and Angevin Kings of England
    1066-1272 Eastern Sussex under the Norman and Angevin kings of England From the Battle of Hastings through the accession of William II until the death of Henry II Introduction In this paper the relationships of the post-Conquest kings of England to Battle and eastern Sussex between 1087 and 1272 are explored. The area ‘eastern Sussex’ corresponds to that described as ‘1066 Country’ in modern tourism parlance and covers the area west to east from Pevensey to Kent and south to north from the English Channel coast to Kent. Clearly the general histories of the monarchs and associated events must be severely truncated in such local studies. Hopefully, to maintain relevance, just enough information is given to link the key points of the local histories to the kings, and events surrounding the kings. Also in studies which have focal local interest there can inevitably be large time gaps between events, and some local events of really momentous concern can only be described from very little information. Other smaller events can be overwhelmed by detail, particularly later in the sequence, when more detailed records become available and ‘editing down’ is required to keep some basic perspective. The work is drawn from wide sources and as much as possible the text has been cross referenced between different works. A list of sources is given at the end of the sequence. Throughout the texts ‘Winchelsea’ refers to ‘Old Winchelsea’ which may have only been a small fishing village in 1066, but by the 1200s had become a sizable and important, if somewhat independently minded and anarchic town, which stood on a large shingle bank east of the present Winchelsea, possibly just south of where Camber castle still stands today.

In comparison to other areas of study, the role of the Church of England during this time period is inadequately examined.
